Hello In preparation for upgrading our physical servers from Essex to Grizzly, I'm trying to test the crowbar 1.6 iso (crowbar-mesa-1.6_openstack-os-build.3508.dev.iso) in a VirtualBox environment to build an admin node and test a simple compute/storage node config.
I've created a 1GB VM (called crowbar-iso) attached to an internal network and seem to be able to successfully boot the ISO. It goes through an automatic install process that appears to image the VM ending with a somewhat length "preseed" install step. That's the last thing I can observe the VM doing. After this step the VM console turns to black and I expect the login prompt from step 11 of http://crowbar.github.io/docs/getting-started/install-admin-node.html to show up. The console stays dark though. I've attempted to restart the VM and it seems to boot from the disk, without the crowbar iso attached. At least, there is no error about not finding an OS. From what I can tell, this is a CentOS image but I can't seem to "access" it any way like alt consoles or such. Should I expect this iso to be functional? Is there some system requirement that would prevent the login prompt from appearing, like a min ram? My goal is to get the crowbar-iso VM operational and the attach my crowbar-admin VM to the same internal network and bootstrap the system this way. Any suggestions? ~jpr _______________________________________________ Crowbar mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/crowbar For more information: http://crowbar.github.com/
